Competition can be murder... Will a delicious recipe be the death of the deli? Deli owner and amateur sleuth, Moira Darling, has her hands full, preparing for the county fair – a big deal in her quaint small town. While her daughter, Candice, embarks upon her new adventure, opening her candy shop, Moira plans to enter a delicious Vegetarian Gumbo recipe from her best employee, Darrin, in the soup competition. The competition is going very well, with the gumbo taking a healthy lead, until the head judge dies under mysterious circumstances. Suspicion falls on Moira and the deli once again, and as she and her hunky boyfriend, David, investigate, the evidence points to a very surprising culprit.

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
